Here is a list of the many Eastern resorts on the MAX Pass that are not on this new IKON pass. And they haven’t added any new Eastern resorts to the IKON. Pretty disappointing. I don’t travel to Colorado or Wyoming much, so adding resorts out there isn’t much of a benefit to me.

Pico
Gore
Whiteface
Belleayre
Okemo
Sunapee
Mont Sainte Anne
Mountain Creek
Stoneham
Wachusett
Windham

Thinking about it more for our situation, the Ikon pass is certainly a downgrade as compared to the Max pass, it almost does not matter what the cost is.

We will for sure be buying our usual Pico passes and Killington spring passes, and unless there is a 3-5 days at each of the participating mountains at a crazy cheap price, or if unlimited is somewhere in the $500 range, (which i don’t see happening) this Ikon will be a non starter for us.

Losing Okemo takes away a convenient day trip option. Utah is the easiest direct flight from Boston and swapping Solitude and Brighton for Alta and Deer Valley is a downgrade simply because of the snowboarding policies.

I don’t know if Max was profitable. Maybe it wasn’t and that is why it is going away, but they are likely losing our family as customers.

The Max pass will likely be losing all customers as it goes away.

I'm guessing the economics did not work for the non-feeder hills.

Too bad - it was nice for families and the occasional skier - but I won't miss the Max pass people that have been crowding our lift lines on Saturday.

Only 7 days at K makes it a no go. Unless it becomes an add on feature to the full pass, I too am likely out.

Unlimited at Copper but not K?

I don't get it. Looks like an attempt to compete in the west against the Vail Epic passes. But without an unlimited option for Killington, it isn't going to work for me.

IKON = EPIC FAIL.

They should change their name from "IKON" to "Mountains that nobody cares about".

K sending emails to me about it. Guess they must not want me to buy a season pass anymore.....

Max pass add on option was way better. This pass is a huge disappointment IMO.
